FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for exchanging files between a computer and a server. With an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their task without being able to view any other directory in the web hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build multiple sites using web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
Any of the web hosting packages that we’re offering will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your Internet sites separately or to provide other people with access to any Internet site in your hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design software application installed on your home computer, you’ll be able to administer numerous sites simultaneously and to keep them up to date effortlessly. If you give the login credentials to some other individual to perform a certain task, you’ll be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and prevent any risk of unauthorized access to your web content in the future. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages that we offer will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid irrespective of which plan you get and which hosting Control Panel you pick during the signup procedure – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. In all cases, you will gain FTP access to the server without having to install any software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the software suite which comes with the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you have registered or even multiple FTP accounts for a single folder – if you want different users to access the web content inside it using their very own login credentials. With any of the Control Panels, setting up, removing or modifying an FTP account will require no more than a couple of clicks via an intuitive interface.
